and the rest of the time at Kona. I would welcome your suggestions for: - places to get local food - saimin, plate lunch, local fish, etc. - horseback riding (mainly guided trail rides for beginners) - snorkeling sites and trips - whale watching trips - not very strenuous, but scenic hikes - sailboat rentals (small boats) - kayak rentals - other fun stuff Mahalo Louis Cohen Living la vida loca at N37° 43' 7.9" W122° 8' 42.8" |

Since you have plenty of time, you might also want to plan a day where you leave early in the morning and go visit Hilo on the other side of the island. You are invited to visit my Big Island of Hawaii webpage which you will find at: http://keith.martin.home.att.net/page9B.html - where you'll find no advertising, no pop-ups, no cookies and nothing for sale - and prior to leaving you may view complete information, look through live webcameras, take virtual field trips and listen to radio stations broadcasting live over the airwaves and through the Internet! Aloha and bon voyage! KM -- (-:alohacyberian:-) At my website there are 3000 live cameras or visit NASA, play games, read jokes, send greeting cards & connect to CNN news, NBA, the White House, Academy Awards or learn all about Hawaii, Israel and mo http://keith.martin.home.att.net/ |

If you go to Hilo, don't miss the Hamakua drive along the coast north of Hilo. Also there's a nice-ish botanical garden just north of Hilo. Regarding activities, I've heard good things about the Flume(sp?) ride. Marianne |

It's called Flumin' da Ditch. http://www.flumindaditch.com/flumin.html Even if you don't want to go, the history of the irrigation system on the web site is interesting.
